Anyone thinking of applying to Southampton this year? Currently doing the BM5 course and am about to start my first clinical year so happy to answer any questions.
After bringing in interviews last year, they have finally got some data to show us:
The lowest UKCAT scores for those starting in 2014 were:
2800 (total) for School Leavers (A levels) 2500 (total) for mature non grads who were considered separately.
In total there were 1400+ applications, 457 interviews and 290 offers.
The interview will continue to be decided by UKCAT and will still consist of an individual panel interview based on your personal statement, and a group task. The entry requirements can be found here

Good luck to those applying!
Whats that average. If im 25 am i a mature non grad?! Do you know how high ukcat is this year compared to last year?!
Thinking of applying to Southampton for 2015 entry. Haven't done ukcat yet, in 3 weeks. But I guess I need to get like over 800 to kind of stand out? And how much work experience/ extra curriculars did you have when you applied?

You just need to get high enough to get an interview rather than standing out. 2014 entry had a lowest interview score of 2800 but that doesn't mean it will be the same this year unfortunately.
Extracurriculars were few but lots of work experience. Then again, it's not the amount that matters but how you use it and what you learnt from it.
So I'm considering applying. I got 2750 in ukcat, 12A*s at gcse and AAAB at as with the B in history.
Worth applying and how likely am I to be interviewed?
You'll need predictions of AAAa (a at AS). Your GCSEs are fine. Your UKCAT would have been too low this year but that may change for those applying to start next Sept.

1. Everyone applies 2. Starting at the top score, uni gives out interviews 3. Continue down the scores until enough people qualify for offers 4. Find out the lowest UKCAT score that got an interview as an indication to others applying 5. Repeat.
